Pure Biofuels Corp., a Peruvian-based biodiesel company, recently announced it has completed construction of an underwater pipe that will become part of Peru's largest integrated terminaling operation.

Besides the expected cost advantages for transporting and storing raw materials, as well as blending and exporting finished product from its own biodiesel facilities, the company will make its tank farm available to third parties on a per barrel or per ton per month basis, providing the opportunity for Pure Biofuels to diversify its revenue stream with a high margin revenue source, the company states, adding it plans to market its spare storage space to third parties such as refiners, distributors, marketers and industrial/commercial end-users of petroleum chemical products.

“Pure Biofuels now owns and will soon operate Peru’s largest integrated terminaling operation," says Pure Biofuels’ Chairman Chris Tewell. "Our tank farms greatly complement our primary production facility, which includes a biodiesel production plant and a blending facility. We plan to commence our terminaling operations in the third quarter in conjunction with the ramp up of our flagship Callao Port refinery, subject to pending test results of the facility.”

The Callao Port facility encompasses almost 12 acres of land close to the Port of Callao, the largest port on Pacific Coast of South America. The infrastructure includes a mooring facility capable of receiving Panamax vessels of up to 60,000 MT of bulk liquid cargo; and the two longest underwater pipes in Peru, running 4.1 kilometers both with a 14-inch diameter.

The pipelines run to Pure’s tank farm, for reception and delivery of raw materials, as well as for accessing other fuels for blending, and for terminaling services. The site also sits near the La Pampilla Refinery, Peru’s largest refinery.
